Popover towers
Formula
- 3 eggs
- 240 g milk
- 125 g flour
- 3 g salt
- 30 g melted butter
Method
- Start. Warm eggs and milk; blend with flour, salt, and butter.Watch for: Use gentle heat and stir often; remove from the heat as soon as the mixture is uniform so residual heat does not take it too far.
- Then. Grease and preheat a popover pan; fill cups halfway.Watch for: Let the oven heat for at least 20 minutes and position the rack before the batter or dough is ready. Keep components level and leave edges clean; uneven thickness shows up as uneven setting and slices.
- Finish. Bake 20 minutes at 450°F, then 15–20 at 350°F. Keep the door shut.Watch for: Begin checking at the early end of the range; use the stated color, movement, or internal-temperature cue rather than time alone.
The concept
Starting temperature affects expansion before structure sets.
